    The Time my Granddad Went to an Anime Convention

    When I went to Katsucon 2003 (my first year there), my grandparents went with me. Obviously my grandparents know nothing about anime, and I thought they might go sight-see or something on saturday, but they didn’t – they just kinda hung out, and, I think, had a relatively good time. Well, saturday afternoon rolls around, and I ask my granddad…

    when i was in a skit

    Deathcom Multimedia has the video from Katsucon 10 up. If you want to see me looking dorky, go download it. It’s around 50MB (and we were skit #21 – it’s seperated by skits, so I think we’re the 3rd video). It’s really nice quality, and I crack myself up in it. hehe (fyi, I was Urd in the AMG skit)

    Katsucon 2004 pics!

    I’m dead tired. I don’t know how I made it through the weekend. I fell asleep in the room 3 times by mistake. But it was fun! I was part of a great AMG group for the masq, and I met lots of cool people and it was great seeing friends from other cons again. Not enough really happened to…

    Katsucon 2003 Pics!

    I’m still recovering from katsucon. But I did update the cosplay site, with new costume junk and a con report! There weren’t many stories to tell, but you can read what I did those few days anyway. Belldandy came out much better than I expected. I was so frustrated over the wig I wondered if I would even wear the…

    hey everyone. It’s Ash. Kell wanted me to post and let you guys know that she hasn’t abandoned you, but she’s stuck in Washington on her way back from Katsucon. They’ve got, like, 3 feet of snow up there and the airports have shut down. So…it could be the middle of the week before she gets home. Well that’s all…

    Leaving…

    I’m leaving for Katsucon! Let’s hope the rain here slacks up so I can take off, and the snow slacks up there on Sunday so I can come home. 😀 As usual I have no idea when I’ll be wearing what. I try to plan it out beforehand but it never works that way. Here are the costumes I’m taking……

    when i was a poster child

    Hee! Look at that goob who is the “poster child” for Harry Potter cosplay on cosplaylab. I cleaned my room last night. I started at like, 10:30 and stopped by 11:30 cause that’s when the Buffy episode I was watching ended. Ha. Then I went to bed cause I was all tired, but ended up sitting there watching the rest…
